My A1200 managed to crash the memory tester #44

I got an Amiga 1200 rev. 1D1, kickstart 3.0 with a 8MB fastram card from amigakit. Just after a few minutes of running ram test I get an Exception. IMG_20210509_194343

CPU has crashed executing outside normal code area. Probably the memory test corrupted execution state. Hardware problem. Does it work without the 8mb card?

xiphias256 commented 3 years ago

Yes, I have not had this issue without the expansion card yet. So faulty expansion card then?

keirf commented 3 years ago

Possibly. I don't know about compatibility with Kickstart 3.0. Do you have anything in the PCMCIA slot? Have you tried jumpering the RAM card for smaller amounts of RAM?

xiphias256 commented 3 years ago

Nothing in the PCMCIA slot. I have tried jumpering to 5.5MB and 4MB, same result. I guess you can close this issue, as it is more likely to be a hardware issue.
